The series will transport viewers to Sanctuary
Blizzard і Netflix They will be working on a new animated series set in the Diablo universe. The series will be set in the gloomy world of Sanctuary.
Sanctuary is a world in which humanity exists against the backdrop of the conflict between Heaven and Hell. Blizzard has also hinted that the Diablo series could mark the start of a broader collaboration with Netflix.
Diablo V will begin in a world that has already lost the war against evil
Diablo V will be the next numbered instalment in the series. Blizzard has set a release window for it — spring 2029.
The key change concerns the plot premise. In previous games, the heroes fought against demons and other forces of evil, whereas in this new instalment, the villains have already triumphed. The world lies in ruins and has been scorched, and humanity is forced to survive amidst the rubble.
The heroes will not only have to fight their enemies, but also survive in a world that has effectively been overrun by the forces of Hell. This approach could significantly alter the atmosphere of the series.
